Oregon Cinder men Share 12 Dual Meet Marks With Huskies Several Outstanding Records Withstand the Assaults Annually for Decade; Rivals to Meet Here Again Saturday . Ghosts of track champions of the past decade will hover around Hayward field Saturday, zealously guarding from the attack of Ore gon and Washington athletes of 1938 those marks set by the stalwarts of the two schools competing against each other in years gone by. *The churning legs and strong arms of Purple and Gold standard bearers have given the Seattle institution 6 out of 12 records listed in the record books of the Oregon publicity office, Webfoot immortals writing a like number on the books. The records have stood the test of time and competition since 1928. In the pre-depression year, “Uncle Hec’’ Edmundson fielded one of the greatest teams ever to wear the Husky emblem. That team beat Oregon by a 94%-to 36% count as Brix and Anderson hung up marks. Brix threw the shot 51 feet 8 inches, and Ander son skipped over the high hurdles in 14.4 seconds. 23.2 Low Hurdles The following year, Ahderson sped over the low sticks in 23.2 seconds. His mark in this event has also escaped the yearly firing unscathed. Bobby Robinson, negro pole vaulter, holds the record of 13 feet 4 1-8 inches, although George Var off vaulted a height of 13 feet 6 inches last year. Varoff’s jump was not officially approved. Rob inson competed' in 1931 for Colonel Bill Hayward. In 1936 the Webfoot and Husky aces treated Eugene fans to three record - breaking performances. Oregon’s Squeak Lloyd jumped 24 feet 4 3-8 inches to set a new rec ord in the broad jump, while Bill Vandermay of the Huskies, a senior this year, cleared a height of 6 feet 3 7-8 inches to win the high jump. To climax the day’s competition, the Husky mile re lay team tumbled the old mark off the shelves, turning in a 3:21.5 mile, i Shoemake Amazes Oregon’s sensational sprinter, Bud Shoemake, amazed Seattle track followers in 1935 with two record-breaking outbursts in one afternoon. He flashed the century (Please turn to page seven) TRACKMEN NOTICE! Coach Bill Hayward asks all varsity trackmen to report for a special meeting on Hayward field this afternoon at 3:30. Varsity Netmen Engage Vandals InLeague Match Team Resumes Toil Alter Long Lay-off; Play Tomorrow Oregon’s varsity tennis team will resume competition this afternoon, after a two-week lay-off, with a conference match against the Idaho Vandals. The Ducks play Washington State here tomorrow. Coach Paul Washke, who has been attending a physical educa tion conference in Atlanta, Georgia, for the past two weeks, will again assume command of the Webfoot netment today. He will relieve George Humphreys, senior i manager, who bossed the Ducks during his absence. Hope to Repeat Although the Webfoot netters triumphed easily over the Vandals last year at Moscow, advance re ports of the invading team indicate that Washke’s lads will have to be in top shape to hope to repeat their 7 to 0 victory over the Idaho team. For the opening conference , tussle this year, the Webfoots have only two men left from the squad Husky Trackmen Top Web foots in 18 Meets University of Oregon’s track and field forces of 1938 will attempt to raise the total of Webfoot victories over Washington to five when representatives of the two schools meet for the nineteenth time ih dual-meet competition on Hayward field, Saturday afternoon. In 18 years of competition since the meet was inaugurated in 1920, the Webfoots have won only four times, while the Huskies he/ve re corded triumphs on 14 different occasions. Colonel Bill Hayward’s charges have not been able to win from Washintgon since 1934 when a sturdy Webfoots gang romped over that swept through to tie for the conference crown last year. Lost by graduation are Johnny Econo mus and A1 Finke, who played positions one and five on last year’s, team. Chuck Eaton, No. three on the conference champion team, fell by the wayside in the team elim ination tournament early this spring. Returning this year are Captain Larry Crane and Bill Zimmerman, a pair of seniors who are playing the one and four positions this season. Newcomers to the squad are two sophomores who starred on last year’s frosh squad, Les Werschkul and Karl Mann. Werschkul waded through elimina tions to the No. two spot on the team, and Mann is playing No. five. Ellsworth Ellis, transfer from San Mateo Junior college, has moved into the No. three position on the squad. Saturday will be a big day for the campus tennis courts with the varsity match with j Washington State, and a frosh (Please turn to page seven) the Huskies at Eugene by a 67 to 64 count. Last year, Washington triumph ed at Seattle, 86-44. Oregon captured the first meet ever held between the rival teams, 66-44, but has only been able to win three times since.
